6 Manage the Basic Radio Features This chapter describes how you can manage the basic radio features of the access point. For information about the advanced radio features, see Manage the Advanced Radio Features on page 220. CAUTION: If you change a radio feature on the 2.4 GHz radio, the change affects all WiFi networks that broadcast on the 2.4 GHz radio. Similarly, if you change a radio feature on the 5 GHz radio, the change affects all WiFi networks that broadcast on the 5 GHz radio. If the change is not specific to one radio, the change affects all WiFi networks on the access point. The chapter includes the following sections: • Manage the basic WiFi settings for the radios • Turn a radio on or off • Change the WiFi mode for a radio • Change the channel width for a radio • Change the guard interval for a radio • Change the output power for a radio • Change the channel for a radio • Manage Quality of Service for a WiFi radio Note: If you want to change the radio settings, use a wired connection to avoid being disconnected when the new radio settings take effect. Note: In this manual, WiFi network means the same as SSID (service set identifier or WiFi network name) or VAP (virtual access point). That is, when we refer to a WiFi network we mean an individual SSID or VAP. 83
